The BSP leader thanked Union Home Minister Amit Shah for acknowledging the party's relevance in Uttar Pradesh
BSP president Mayawati on Wednesday exuded confidence that her party will repeat its show of 2007 and SP president Akhilesh Yadav’s dreams of forming a government will be shattered.
She also thanked Union Home Minister Amit Shah for acknowledging BSP's relevance in the state, saying her party is getting votes from all sections of society.
"When the results are declared on March 10, BSP will form its government like it did in 2007 with full majority," Ms. Mayawati told the media after casting her vote.
Asked about Mr. Yadav’s claims about Samajwadi Party getting Muslim voters’ support, she said the ground reality cannot be more different and can be known by visiting villages.
"Members of the religious minorities, the Muslims, have been unhappy with the working style of the Samajwadi Party. They believe that even when they had been with it for last five years, when the time came to allot tickets, they were sidelined to make space for others,” said the Dalit leader.
On Mr. Shah’s comment about her party’s continued relevance, Ms. Mayawati said it was his “greatness” that he accepted the truth.
